Instructor:  Rosina del Bosco Chiaro
Classes:

Piva: This dance was considered bumpkinish by the fifteenth-century,
fit only for peasants, yet it was still done at parties when everyone
was well pickled.  Aside from the basic piva, three dances primarily
using the piva step, Petit Riens, Amoroso and Belfiore, will be
taught.  This is a class for all levels of experience.

Quadernaria:  This class will teach fifteenth-century Italian dances which
remain entirely in 4/4 time. (Most English country dances are in this time.)
The class will start with the steps needed, and will include dances from the
following: Anello, Gelosia, Rosina, Vita di Cholino.  This is a class for
all skill levels.

Fifteenth-Century Italian Balli:  This class is an intensive look at the mixed
tempo balli.  The four basic dance tempi (piva, quadernaria, saltarello and
bassadanza) will be covered, as well as dancing one dance type to the other
tempi, improvisation and ornamentation.  About four balli will also be taught.
Beginners are welcome, but may find the class progresses very fast.

Instructor:  Delbert von Strassburg
Classes:

Improvisation in Italian Dance		
This class goes through a few 15th and 16th Century Italian dances and
looks at improvisation techniques, and clues in the dance for use in
improvisation.

dances in the Rennaisance repertoire.  This class is an introduction
to the dance form and this particular version.

Class:

The Inn's of Court Dances: This class is free.  We will learn dances
that have their oriigins in manuscripts that survive from the Inn's of
Court (The period places that housed lawyers and those wishing to
study law.)  Much of the reconstruction of these dances come from the
work of Master Trahaern ap Ieuan and Mistress Jane Lynn of Fenmere.
The types of dance we will be doing are Almans and Pavans.  This class
is for any level of dancer and there is no size limit.
